3 Main Reasons Photochromic Lenses Are Right for You









Photochromic lenses, more commonly known as transition or adaptive lenses, appear clear when indoors and darken automatically when exposed to sunlight. These innovative eyeglasses gained popularity in the eyewear industry and for good reason. If you are thinking if photochromic lenses are right for you, then these are 3 reasons you can ponder on:



1. Protection

Photochromic lenses offer protection against harmful UV rays. They work by blocking particular light wavelengths using either colored filters or polarisation. The lenses automatically adapt to the presence of UV rays by darkening the shades within around 30 seconds of exposure.



2. Convenience

Photochromic lenses carry out the function of both eyeglass and sunglasses. There will be no need to change from eyeglass to sunglass when going outdoors and from sunglass to eyeglass when going indoors if you already have photochromic lenses on. You save on the hassle of changing eyewear from time to time.


3. Cost-Effective

Both money and time are saved when using photochromic lenses. Sunglasses may not provide the best level of vision especially for people with eye issues. Although they protect the eyes from UV rays, the person’s vision is not at its best possible level. Eyeglasses are meant to assist with your eye issues, so it does not necessarily protect you from UV rays just like sunglasses do. Having photochromic lenses allows one to experience the benefits of two eyewear pieces.



So who should wear photochromic lenses? Just about everyone! Even children with eyesight difficulties can benefit from photochromic lenses since there are varieties made from polycarbonate (the safest lens material for kids). If you are going to an eyecare specialist anytime soon, better ask further about photochromic lenses to see if it will really be a good fit for your lifestyle.

I rise up to another working day, still in my PJ’s, awakened by the aroma of coffee in my cup and a hundred emails waiting for my response, as if it’s a test of how good my eyes are at 7:30 in the morning. This is the truth for all work-from-home employees and this is the new normal.  Also, from prolonged sitting, we experience muscle pains, fatigue and eye strains. Just like you, your eyes get exhausted too and if you don’t listen to your body, it might send you a message right when it’s “URGENT”. However, we already know better.  Almost everything we need to know is already made available online including eye tests. There are several sites and sources that can provide vision checks or simple vision exercises. Nevertheless, those tests are inconclusive and i f you’re the type of person who relies only on trusted providers, it is best to consult trained and competent optometrists to have your eyes checked.  The current situation makes us more attentive to our body’s needs and more caut
